Significance of Judgment

Judgment, as defined in various contexts, involves key decision-making processes. In Dharmashastra, it denotes the final court decision about parties' rights and obligations. In the Theravada tradition, it relates to the king and his councillors' ethical and legal deliberations, impacted by the priest's misconduct. Historical perspectives in India suggest that Judgment also encompasses the court's ruling that confirms the legal marriage status of petitioners and respondents, illustrating its multifaceted significance across different legal frameworks.
